Which is better for night driving?

The Vantrue Nexus 5 S. Its four Sony STARVIS 2 sensors and WDR handle low light far better than the ARIAGLINT's 480P side and 720P rear cameras.

Do I get side views with the Nexus 5 S?

No. Its four channels are front road, front cabin, rear cabin and rear road. The ARIAGLINT kit is the one that points cameras at the left and right sides.

Is the Nexus 5 S worth the extra money?

Yes if you need clear plates and faces at night or want parking clips that start before impact. If you only want basic four-way coverage, the $59.99 ARIAGLINT kit covers it.

Which records longer clips before an event?

The Nexus 5 S. Its buffered parking mode keeps 10 seconds before motion or a collision triggers a save. The ARIAGLINT relies on a G-sensor with no pre-buffer.

Do both need extra hardware for parking mode?

Yes. Both need an external power source such as a hardwire kit. The ARIAGLINT kit does not include one, and Vantrue sells its own separately.

Which holds more footage?

The Nexus 5 S, which takes microSD cards up to 1TB. The ARIAGLINT ships with a 32GB card and its card limit is not stated.
